Legal Malpractice?
2 years ago I was named as a third party in a long standing law suit between a client and contractor. Their law suit had nothing to do with me and has been going on for several years now. Almost 2 years ago I was named as a third party in this suit by the client’s attorney. I immediately sent copies of all signed contracts, disclaimers, indemnification forms, etc. to the client’s attorney to prove I had nothing to do with this case. However, they proceeded and named me anyway. Nearly 2 years later and at a cost of over $20,000 to me, the client’s attorney dropped us from the suit because we indeed had nothing to do with the case. Can I now sue for wrongfully naming me in this suit and try to recoup my legal fees?
